The Step command generates a step waveform.

By default, Step returns a piecewise expression representing a step. If the option discrete is assigned true, Step returns a Vector of data points.

The optional parameter yht specifies the height of the step. Its default value is one.

The optional parameter t0 specifies the time of the step. Its default value is zero.

The optional parameter y0 specifies the initial value. Its default value is zero.
